Global connected drug delivery device market was worth USD 214.10 million in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 46.7%) between 2021 and 2028. The market is expected to grow due to increased patient engagement and connectivity, owing to increasing penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT), in the medical device sector. The market saw an explosion in demand for home-based drug delivery solutions during the Covid-19 epidemic. It is expected that the product will continue to grow in the future due to the increasing emphasis on patient compliance and quality, increased awareness about production footprint and associated cost, and the growing use of self-administered or connected drug therapy.
Market growth will be supported by an increasing number of initiatives and programs that aim to raise awareness about the importance of following doctors' orders. Market growth is expected to be driven by increasing awareness about the advantages of connected systems over traditional systems.
In recent years, the market has seen positive changes through partnerships, collaborations and product launches & approvals. The market players who are involved in developing and producing sensors also run various medical programs.
Propeller Health, for example, has created around 60 connected medical programs that highlight the technological challenges in managing drug deliveries devices. This has added value to connected drugs delivery devices. These devices allow physicians to monitor patients' compliance to prescribed therapy and to adjust treatments as necessary.

Outlook after COVID |
Market players saw a strong demand for home-care drug delivery solutions during the pandemic. The market was previously valued at USD 190million, but it now stands at more than USD 214million in 2020. |
Market growth is expected to continue and reach USD 279.34 millions by 2021. Market growth will be driven by the increasing use of IoT in medical devices. |
The market experienced a 23.8% year-on year growth rate in 2020, compared to 2019. In 2019, the market saw a 15.5% increase rate due to the high demand for connected drug delivery devices. |
Inhalation of CNS drugs via nasal inhalation is a topic of active research. Market players are expected to invest in this field over the next few years. |
West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. saw a 16.7% increase in its growth rate between 2019 and 2020, compared with 7.1% in 2018 to 2019. |
OnDrugDelivery predicts that the connected drug delivery device market will focus on individual patient outcomes in 2021. |
Connected sensors dominated the market, accounting for 68% of the total revenue in 2020. The connected sensors can be used with existing delivery devices and can be reused, even if they are disposable. The sensors can be further broken down into connected injection sensors and connected Inhaler sensors. The segment of integrated connected devices is expected to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment of integrated connected devices can also be sub-segmented to connected injection devices and connected inhalation device.
Inhalation devices have many advantages over injection devices. These include needleless drug delivery and the ability to inhale. Inhalation devices will see a rise in demand due to the rising incidence of chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD). A 2019 study by Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CD) found that 1 in 13 people worldwide had asthma. The market will continue to grow due to IoT, and other technologies.
In 2020, the healthcare providers segment had the highest revenue share at more than 50%. This is due to increased rates of COPD, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, and other chronic conditions that require proper health records. The connected drug delivery devices monitor and deliver drugs, as well as maintain patient health records.
The homecare market is expected to grow at the fastest rate between 2021 and 2028 due to increasing product acceptance in homecare settings. These devices allow for the administration of medication in homecare settings, without the need for healthcare providers and without any errors. These factors will drive segment growth.
Due to its high use in drug delivery devices, Bluetooth technology accounted for 65.3% of the total revenue share in 2020. This segment will see significant growth due to technological advancements. The technology is also cheaper and more easily accessible than HTML3_ NFC HTML3_ and other similar technologies.
NFC will be a significant market segment by 2028, as it allows for communication via the internet and mobile apps. The technology is widely used for drug tracking and identification. As cellular technologies prove to have a benefit in transmitting data to connected drug delivery devices, the others segment will show the fastest CAGR at 57%. These devices also overcome limitations such as the need for a hub or a companion device.
North America dominated the global market in 2020, accounting for 34% of the revenue. This is due to high per capita healthcare spending, rapid adoption of new technologies and devices, rising awareness about the negative effects of drug therapy non-compliance, and the fact that the region will continue to be the dominant market in the future.
Europe is expected to be the fastest growing regional market during the forecast period due to increasing numbers of chronic diseases and the large target population. Due to the high cost of these devices, product demand in regions such as Asia Pacific (except Australia and Japan), Latin America and MEA is expected to stay low over the next few years. The increasing number of market players will mean that product prices will decrease in the future. This will help to support market development in these regions.
Market leaders participate in strategic alliances and acquisitions to stay ahead of the competition. To improve their market position, companies are investing in product launches. Propeller Health, for example, launched its digital health sensor, New Enerzair, and Atectura Breezhaler asthma medication in Japan in August 2020.
Due to the pandemic in the world, there is a huge demand for connected drug delivery systems. These devices can be used by anyone without the assistance of healthcare professionals. Market players will have immense opportunities to show the effectiveness of their products to patients and healthcare professionals.
